Chapter 20: Xu's Mother and Daughter Sing in Harmony

  It wasn't just Xu Shi, everyone else present was also stunned.

  This hasn't even started yet! In the past, even if this Xu family's courage was small, it wouldn't be to the point where as soon as Madam Xu opened her mouth, they would cry so much!

  Isn't it that there's something else going on behind today's afternoon incident?

  Osmanthus just wanted to make Chu Yande lose face and shift Xu's anger, but unexpectedly, his temporary idea made others have other thoughts.

  "What are you crying about! My husband and I haven't even died yet, no need for you to be wailing like this!" Xu reacted the fastest, but her so-called reaction was only that she found Guihua's tears particularly annoying.

  As soon as the term "Sweeping Star" was mentioned, the faces of the people present turned pale and became complicated. Some were amused, such as Lu Shi, some wanted to avoid it, like Chu Liwen, and others looked worried and sad, like Gui Hua's family.

  "Mother..." Chu Lishou finally couldn't help but speak up, wanting to explain something to his own mother. Although mothers are always right, Guihua was still his child after all, and hearing her say such things about Guihua made Chu Lishou feel heartache.

  Chu Lishou didn't open his mouth, which was good. But as soon as he did, Madam Xiu's temper flared up even more. Her two hands started slapping the kang bedframe, and after a couple of slaps, she began clapping her palms together loudly. That broken gong-like voice of hers let out a loud wail: "You heartless, pig-headed little scoundrel! I'm your mother, for goodness' sake! You're actually yelling at me because of that good-for-nothing, money-losing daughter-in-law of mine?! I've had it with this life! All of you are just waiting for me to kick the bucket so you can snicker behind my back!"

  Everyone in the house was originally watching Guihua and her daughter, but they didn't expect to be shouted at by Xu Shi like this, and their attention instantly shifted to Xu Shi.

  As for Xu's this crying and making a scene and threatening to hang herself routine, everyone has obviously seen it before.

  Just by looking at Chu Lishi and Lu Shi, as well as the two big and small sons in his family with a look of watching a good show on their faces, it can be seen that Xu Shi's trick has obviously been used to the point where it can't be used anymore.

  The osmanthus flower still had tears on its face, but its eyes looking at Xu's family had changed again and again.

  My god, I've seen shrews before, but never one as shrewish as this, okay?

  His own father merely called out "mother", how did it make Madam Xu become like this?

  Besides, what Chu Lishou said next, the people present hadn't heard yet, how did Xu Shi know that Chu Lishou was going to confront her?

  Isn't it that she has a guilty conscience and had already guessed that Chu Lixiu would oppose her?

  At this thought, a cold smile rose in Guihua's heart, and she looked at Xu Shi's crying eyes with an increasingly cold gaze.

  "Mother, mother, don't cry anymore, you'll hurt your body!"

  Chu Liwan's reaction was the fastest among the people present, she hurried to Xu Shi's side and gently comforted her, with a demeanor of a noble lady.

  However, this state did not last long. She had just said two sentences of soothing words that were still pleasant to hear, but what she said next completely opened up Guilhua's horizons.

  "Third brother, what are you doing?! Didn't mom say anything else? The elderly at home originally dislike things like brooms and tears, you're bringing your family's thing over here, isn't this intentionally making mom uncomfortable?"
